Consumer subset rsync, 13 fixed-order domain commits via positional -m, conventional-commit validation. 8 new tests pass (TestSyncToNovaScript). Pre-existing test_attestation_event_emission failure (env-dependent: NOVA_ATTESTATION_SIGNING_KEY_ID unset, D-089) reproduced on clean main — unrelated. Next: P2 final-review-ship -> tag v1.18.0."
